Hangul Script

Hangul was scientifically designed in 1443 by King Sejong the Great. Letters are grouped into syllable blocks, and consonant shapes reflect the tongue's position.

Writing Challenges

Korean has complex honorific levels affecting verb endings, particles that mark grammatical roles, and sound changes at syllable boundaries that affect spelling.

Did You Know?

Hangul is often praised as one of the most logical and scientific writing systems ever created. UNESCO awards the King Sejong Literacy Prize annually.

What is Korean transliteration?
Transliteration converts text from one script to another. Our tool lets you type Korean words using English letters, and it converts them to Korean script automatically.
Is Korean transliteration free?
Yes! GoTranslate's Korean transliteration is completely free to use. Powered by Google Input Tools.
How is transliteration different from translation?
Translation changes the meaning from one language to another. Transliteration keeps the same word but changes the script — e.g., writing a Korean word in Korean script instead of English letters.

Yes! If you don't have a Korean keyboard, our transliteration tool lets you type Korean using your regular English keyboard. Just type the word as it sounds and select the correct Korean script version.
